The low energy accelerator facility leaf consists of an electron linear accelerator linac and a van de graaff vdg electron accelerator.
Low energy accelerator.
The goal was to better understand and address low income energy challenges and demonstrate a wide range of locally designed energy efficiency and distributed renewable energy solutions.
In a linear particle accelerator linac particles are accelerated in a straight line with a target of interest at one end.
The low energy demonstration accelerator leda radio frequency quadrupole rfq is a 100 duty factor cw linac that delivers 100 ma of h beam at 6 7 mev.
The 8 m long 350 mhz rfq structure.
Originally built in 1969 the linac recently underwent a significant upgrade to increase the beam power and energy.
They are often used to provide an initial low energy kick to particles before they are injected into circular accelerators.
The longest linac in the world is the stanford linear accelerator slac which is 3 km 1 9 mi long.
